That Moment in Session When You Think: ‘Is This Normal Aging?’—Let’s Talk
Let’s Be Honest: Supporting Clients with Memory Loss Can Feel Overwhelming.
You’re in session with an older client.
Their stories are starting to fray. They repeat themselves. You notice confusion, hesitation, even frustration.
Your gut says, “This might be more than stress or aging.”
But your training didn’t cover this.
You want to help—but don’t want to misstep.
You consider referring out... but to who?
Meanwhile, you’re spending your precious time in-between sessions searching online for answers, tiptoeing through complex family dynamics, and quietly questioning if what you're doing in therapy is actually helping.
It doesn't have to be this way...
Imagine Instead:

I'm so glad you're here!
Hi there, I’m Dr. Regina Koepp. I’m a Stanford trained, board-certified clinical psychologist, geropsychologist, and founder of the Center for Mental Health & Aging. I’ve spent over 20 providing therapy to older adults and their families addressing issues like memory loss, dementia, and caregiving.
I created this course for a simple reason:
Because I’ve seen too many therapists—brilliant, caring therapists—feel helpless when memory loss enters the room.
They weren’t trained in this.
They worry they’re missing something.
They don’t know what to say—or where to turn.
And I get it. I’ve been there too.
This course is everything I wish I had when I started working with older adults more that 20 years ago. It’s practical. Compassionate. Clear.
And it gives you the tools to support older clients with memory loss—with confidence and heart.
Because your clients deserve the very best care, and YOU deserve the very best training.
This Course Is for You If…
✔️ You're a Therapist, Psychologist, Counselor, LMFT, LPC,LMHC, Social Workers, or nurse who wants to confidently work with older clients.

I'm Dr. Regina Koepp. I'm a Stanford-trained, board certified clinical psychologist, and founder of the Center for Mental Health & Aging. For close to 20 years, I’ve worked with older adults and their families in some of the most prominent healthcare systems in the nation, like Stanford, Emory, the Veterans Health Administration, and University of Vermont Medical Center.
I’ve experienced first hand the difficulty of helping older adults and caregivers find mental health providers trained to help them. In fact, the vast majority of older adults with mental health concerns DO NOT get the mental health care they need, resulting in worse medical problems, higher health care costs, family strain, and needless suffering..
I created the Dementia Basics for Therapists course to ensure that you have the tools you need to treat the mental health needs of older adults in your care.
It's only with your help that we can meet the mental health needs of older adults and caregivers. So, thank you for being here and doing your part!
